Not an Apple Card approval

I have some known upcoming out of cycle spend so I picked up 2 cards to take advantage of the opportunity to collect some SUB.

 

Alliant CU has a targeted promo for 25,000 bonus point SUB (=$250) for $3K spend in 90 days on the Platinum card w/Rewards 2% CB card.  Instant approval for $10K 15.49% APR (lowest). Already met the spend with dental work.   TU HP. 

 

Standard WF Propel card with the $300 SUB/$3K spend in 90 days.  I''ll  meet that with some unstructured spend and a known off-cycle purchase coming in about 60 days.   Instant approval, $6K SL (ha! whatever) @Anonymous.99% APR.  EX HP. 

 

Both issuers previously gave me side eye due to many new accounts which for them is typical and I suspect impacted the SL.  I'd have to do math for exact numbers but I'm roughly down now to about 40/24 and 18/12. 

 

Current FICO 8 scores are currently 3-5 points higher than in the .signature, current FICO9 scores are all either 835 or 836. 

(3/2024)
FICO 8 (EX) 846 (TU) 850 (EQ) 850
FICO 9 (EX) 850 (TU) 850 (EQ) 850
